Alaska Air - Alaska Airline Review

I've flown with Alaska Air mainly on the west coast of North America between Seattle and destinations in BC (Vancouver, Kelowna, Victoria etc). While I'm not much for the Seattle airport, I really enjoyed Alaska Air's service.

Alaska Air / Horizon Air Review

One situation I was in was that I had arrived in Seattle after flying in from Frankfurt, Germany on US Airways. I was extremely tired and jet lagged, and I knew that the last Alaska Air flight that night to BC was at 9:00 pm. I didn't have a ticket, and didn't arrive until 8:30, and still had to pick up my luggage (suitcase, massive backpack, and mountain bike!) and then buy the ticket, check in, go through security again, and get on the plane. All within 30 minutes.

I managed to get my baggage quickly and raced up to the Alaska Air sales counter. The gentleman was extremely helpful, and got me a ticket on the last flight that night to Kelowna, BC. He guaranteed I could get on the flight, but said my luggage might have to be sent the next day - I was fine with that.

Even though I had trouble going through security (I always get "randomly" searched) Alaska Air held the flight for me an extra ten minutes to make sure I could get on it. And when I finally arrived home, my luggage had made it on the Alaska Air flight as well and everything worked out perfectly!

I've flown with Alaska Air on flights around the west coast of Canada and the US and they've got some excellent deals if you're looking to fly in that area, or to Mexico, Hawaii, etc. Always updating their website with cheap flight specials.
